Where to enjoy your night with a good beer in Bruges?
It could be hard to choose one place worth for spend your precious time! So, I picked three pure local places with enormous atmosphere. Let´s check them and I promise, you will not be disappointed.
De Republiek
It is very popular among locals and you can get Belgium beer and food here. Prices are reasonable and staff friendly. If they are not super-busy, you can have a nice conversation with them about local culture for example. The (recently renewed) interior is breath-taking.

Address: Sint-Jakobsstraat 36
Opening hours:
Sun-Wed: 12pm – 1am
Thu: 12pm – 2am
Fri-Sat: 12pm – 3am
De Stoepa
This is one of the magic places you need to see. It was one of the first pubs I visited here, and I was leaving with a deep impression. The outside decoration is just amazing and interesting for everyone, people here are nice, and this place is suitable even for larger groups. Also, very popular amongst locals.

Address: Oostmeers 124
Opening hours (re-opening 14th November):
Tue-Sun: 11am – 1am

De Garre
Finding this pub is kind of a challenge, because it is little bit hidden. But after you get here, you can have tasty beer while enjoying the friendly atmosphere with the lovely staff. It is possible to taste high-quality local cheese or pâté here as well, but they serve cold food only – although it is not a bad thing!

Sun – Thur: 12pm – 12am
